Week 8 Trivia (ANSWER)

Fellow POD'ers:

Well we had a week off and I hope we get a W this week against the Rams. I was reading some stuff on Coach Schwartz and I have to say I really like him. I like his style, his intensity, his intelligence and his demeanor. Like most of you I wasn't always happy with the coaches we've hired and fired. For example, our winningest coach is also our all time losingest coach (of course W. Fontes). However, we have had some colorful coaches during the years (NOT Marinelli) which brings me to this weeks trivia question.

ANSWER: Bobby Ross. Kudo's to IAmGross who not only actually got the coach right but also the game after which Ross had his tirade (after a loss to the Miami Dolphins.) I remembered that game as well!!

I'd have to guess Bobby Ross simply because he resigned in the middle of a season

Seems like something a coach that resigns would say.

Man...

The team that year got in Ross’s head and tore him apart…. he was never the same after coaching in D-town.

I just wish we would’ve held on to mueller.
